I'll never understand people who talk down on the replayability of a song/album. No one is saying you can't make an album with a message but as a musician, it's your job to find a way to communicate your message in a way that's compelling enough that people find a way to keep coming back to it, especially when you're releasing that album for commercial profit and public consumption.
No one owes you their time or attention. If you make s*** that's hard to listen to, don't be surprised if no one comes back to listen to your s***, regardless of how good it might be.
So if someone listens to an album once/twice and doesn’t like it they have to continue to listen to it throughout the year for their negative opinion to be valid?
They don’t have to do anything, but saying things like “I only listened to the album once LOL” as a form of criticism is lazy. Saya nothing about the album itself.
Abel been had AOTY from the jump
eh, couple great songs. weak overall, After Hours was a lot better

There is no way I will ever start critiquing art in the basis of it fulfilling commercial expectations

That’s not what the tweet said though. I agree if you only gave it a one skim listen then your opinion isn’t really valid but if you listened twice or throughout the weekend it dropped and never came back to it then I think your negative opinion on it is valid

That person runs the sales thread btw lol
hate to break it to u, we in a retirement home

This is the post that certified for me that you have brain damage

Replayability doesn’t automatically equate to commercial though.
Few Good Things isn’t a “commercial” album whatsoever and it deals with some heavy themes as well as Mr. Morale does, and I’ve returned to FGT way more than I have MM

There are reasons you come back to it that you can describe in a more articulate and less abstracted form than “replayability”

Not really. There's dozens of albums dropping every week and there's more access to music now than ever before.
Your job as a musician is to make art that's compelling lol. The listener doesn't owe you s***. I should want to revisit your album even if I didn't like it on the first listen, not because I'm forcing myself to like it but because there was something compelling about it that keeps me coming back to it till my opinion about it possibly changes.

I mean it can say any number of things. Obv someone that is posting that is just hating but there are reasons for that.
Think of any album you haven't really listened to since release and I'm sure you can explain why that is pretty well.
